KENNARD J. KCRNBAU, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

SHADE-HOLDER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, KnNNAno J. KoRNBAU, a citizen of the United States, a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, residing at 4:30 lVest One Hundred and Twenty-second street, New York city, have invented a new and useful improvement in Shade-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a handsome and serviceable shade holder which will do away with the objectionable set screws now (,:0mmonly used and at the sarhe time hold the shade in alirm and positive manner so that under no Circumstances can it he accidentally detached when in use. This object is accomplished by my invention, one embodiment of which is hereinafter set forth.

For a more particular description of my invention, reference is to be had to the ac companying drawing, forming a part, hereof, in which,

Figure 1 is a. side elevation of my improved shade holder holding a shade. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same shade holder, somewhat enlarged parts being shown in section. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the structure shown .in Fig. 2. Fig. t is an inverse plan view of my improved shade holder. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of my improved shade holder with the clamping ring removed. Fig. 6 shows a detail of the structure.

Throughout the various views of the drawings, similar reference characters designate similar parts.

My improved shade holder 1 holds a shade Qwhich is provided with the usual collar 3, in the following manner: The shade holder is attached to a socket 4., of the conventional form, or any other form, as desired. The lower end of the socket has secured thereto this shade holder 1 by swaging, soltlcring, brazing, or otherwise; the manner in which the shade holder 1 is l is not material, provided it held. This shade holdcrl has a suitable de' pending collar 5 which is preferably turned upwardly and inwardly on its interior for about half of its circumferentjee to form a bead 7 and cut away at (3 (see Fig. 4) so as to provide a suitable place for receiving the globe. It is apparent that the bead 7 of the flange 5 engages the correspmnling groove in the end of the shade Atthe is sccu relv attached to the socket Specification of Letters Patent.

cut-away portion 6 of the collar 5 it is to be noted that the cut'away portion does not extend the entire width of this collar so as to leave .a. web or edge 8 which stitt'cns the holder 1 at this part. to be noted that the away portion (i is provided with asuil'able latch t) which is pivotally ltlOlllltGtl at 10 ('scel ig. (3) of the top of the holder. This latch t) has its lower edge upturned inwardly the same as the part; 7, of the collar 5. This latch 9 is thrown in or out at the time of removing or inserting the globe 2 in the holder 1. When thrown out, this latch t) is not in engagement with the shade 2 and when thrown in, rests against the recess in the part 3, the same as the bead 7 of the collar 5. I

The pivot. 10 may be made in any of several ways but is preferably made integral with the latch S), and is passed through a suitable perforation in the holder 1. so as to swing properly at all times when desired.

The top ofthe holder 1 has an upwardly extending collar 12 which then runs inwardly into engagement with the socket t to which it is secured as above described. This collar is suitably recessed at 13 and perforated so as to provide a suitable opening to form two bayonet joints which will engage with pins on the annular ring or clamping ring which will be described below. It is sntlicient to say that part of the collar 12 adjacent: to the openings 13 are suitably bent so as to form spring catches 14, which will prevent a bacluvard movement of the pins described below, unless they al-e positi vely driven. In Fig. 5 is shown a view of the parts which will make this more clear.

The clamping ring '15 has a suitable downwardly depending flange 16. a horizontally disposed face 17 and an upwardly eX- lending web ltl from which extend the diametrically opposed pins 19, referred to above. The tlange I6 is adapted to make a snug lit with the exterior of the tlange 5 and the latch l). The horizontally disposed portion I? is adapted to rest on the top of a part of the shade holdcr l,and the upwardly disposed web 18 is adapted to rest. against the collar 12 of the holdcr l. The pins ll) enter through the perforations l3 and are adapted to pass under the springs It so as to be positively held in place when the device is in use. 1

In view of the foregoing, the use of mV It is also great ly middle of the cutin a slightly depressed portionmanner '5 usual as desi oe or r. ins rted, first elem the a u y throwing); hack 3 The shade 2 s l. and 2 A inee V zit-ch 9 is cred as shown in 3? 1g. ng' l is then returned and given a M be shown Fig. 1, and ,shade is securely heldrl. 4 have shown e c i bed one cznhodii rent oiLiny inven 'tioin it "is-'ob\'*i"ous that it is not restr'cted thereto, it may be varied in any and many Ways and still be within the scope of my ini ention as pointed out more eartieulaely in the annexed claims.
